Murata’s Low-Power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Module Revolutionizes Battery-Powered IoT Equipment
Murata has introduced a new low-power Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module called the "Type 2GF" to assist in the spread of battery-operated IoT devices. This module includes the Infineon Technologies "CYW43022" chip, which integrates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities.
The IoT market has seen growth in the variety of applications in recent years, leading to an increase in IoT devices with wireless communication capabilities. Different types of wireless communication functions are now needed based on the specific application. In order to accommodate battery-powered devices, wireless communication functions must also have reduced power consumption requirements.
To meet the growing need for low power consumption devices, Murata has utilized their wireless design and product processing technology to create a product that includes the CYW43022 chip. This chip enables the product to maintain connectivity even when the main processor is in sleep mode, thanks to its Bluetooth and Wi-Fi offloading capabilities. As a result, the product consumes less power overall. Additionally, by using smaller noise shields, space was saved on the module, making the product more compact.
